Ravagh Persian Grill

This Christmas eve, my wife and I went to Ravagh Persian Grill. A Persian restaurant which is a crtics' pick on New York Magazine. I started with the very average Persian martini.
None of the appetizer had any meat to it. I ordered Salad-e-Olivieh which was a good blend of potatoes, chicken, egg, carrot and mayonnaise.  I ordered Sultani Kebob which did remind me of Kebob and rice I used to have when I was in Iran but was nowhere near the quality I was used to. Some of the meat, I thought was not as tender as it should have been.  I missed on the Turkish Coffee which the NY Mag so highly recomended. May be next time. On the whole it was an OK place but I do agree that the quantity was enormous and finishing one plate or I may say tray takes some courage.

Mast Punjabi

Hey all you bloggers,
I am a typical Pujabi who loves food, travel and all the good things life has to offer.  For all those who are wondering who is a Punjabi?, Well Punjabi is a person who is native to the area of Punjab in India. Punjab is all about youth, energy, food and bhangra!!!
I will be writing about all the above and much more. As I am currently in NY, I will in my subsequent blogs talk about what in NY satisfies a Punjabi.
